If I am a flower of free in your field What color do you think I would be Pink, Red, Yellow or White? I bet Red indeed would be a treat! If you were a bee of free in my field What color do you think you would choose? Pink, Red, Yellow or White? I bet Red indeed would be the best! If we were a flower and a bee Would you have frequented me Or gone when the nectars done Or when the spring's over If I am a flower of free in your field Would my fragnance fill the air? If you were a bee of free your field Would your charm fill the sky? Together, would we create a beautiful field? Together, would we glow in the dark? Together, would there be pure happiness? In the field of gentle light and breeze!

Shall we go for a picnic? Lets go for shopping. Are we going for the Wang (Blessing)? The answers to the questions are always a NO. A polite NO with pretty good excuses. Are you going to play the upcoming football tournament? Are you taking part in these and that.....all out of home.... A delightful Yes! Basically, he likes to go out and encourages me to go out as well. He often said, he missed his free bachelor life. When we first married, he was the one who gave me lots of love and attention. He loved to spent more time together with me. He once asked for a date over a Dzongkha movie which now he never watches even if its compulsory. After marriage, it became just the opposite. I was the one seeking attention instead. My married life became unromantic day by day. I was the housekeeper and our home was just a shelter. I wanted him to spend more time with me but for him, his friends and social life was more important. I think this is the point of time when most husband an...

Tang Central School is one of the oldest school in Bhutan. It was established in 1965.On 8th October, 2015 we celebrated Tang Central School's golden Jubilee. From Pre- primary to Middle Secondary and now central school, TCS nurtured various individuals. TCS is now 50 years old and one of the institution that contributed a lot in shaping Bhutan. As a remembrance and tribute to the school, the alumni of TCS formed a body to help Tang Celebrate it's 50th birth anniversary. From the fund generated from the community, we built a Jamyang Phodrang in front of the main academic block. Mr.  Sonam Wangdi  and Mr. Renchin Thinley coordinated the whole program and made our school look even more beautiful. An alumnus, Thinley, sponsored all the wood materials on top of being the head architect for the structure. Newly constructed Jamyang Phodrang Dr. Pema Jamtsho, the opposition leader and alumnus of this school was the chief guest. Many other distinguish guests, alumni, offic...

Becoming a mother is the most satisfactory and greatest thing I have done in my whole life. It was such a natural feeling for me. I was quite nervous but it all went very smoothly. Not to forget the kindness and support I got from the doctors in welcoming our sweet baby in this world. I would like to thank the Gynecologist, Dr. Sonam Gyamtsho  of  Mongar Regional Referral Hospital  and his team for taking care of us (me and my son). I thank you so much for the experienced care and support you provided me during the delivery of our precious son Thuksel. My life savior- Gynecologist Sonam Gyamtsho From the very beginning, through my troubles to the assisted delivery and the care afterwards, you have been kind, gentle and compassionate. Bumthang Hospital diagnosed my baby to be breech and therefore I was referred to Mongar. After staying at Mongar for almost a month the final day arrived. I was playing Candy Crush in Tshering's Phone when my labor pain started at ar...

I don't understand politics and high level talks. I don't know why, but I often have problems understanding big things or something requiring many procedures to be done. By the virtue of our beloved monarchs and my own past merit, by the nature of the place I live in, I was happy, satisfied and doing my regular duties. Few days back, while I am returning from the class I was shocked to see many of my fellow teachers with a head phone each and some sharing with others. Its an unusual scenario of our staff room. They were listening so attentively. I was curious and asked them, what are they listening to and they told me that our pay is going to be raised and they are listening to the parliament session on radio. The first thought that struck me was "No, it is impossible." I thought so because I heard and know that our country is having lots of debts. I am at least aware of our economic conditions though I stay in a remote part of our country. I had my next class, so ...

Today, we had a Cluster Based Inservice Programme in our school and I came to know an interesting thing.  I met a teacher who teaches at Khangrab CPS.  His name is Choki Dorji and he is from Benzibee, Tang, Bumthang. We chatted for sometime and I came to know that he was the first person registered in the civil registration. He comes first in terms of rank of citizenship identity card from our country. Going by the alphabetical order, Bumthang comes first from the rest and his village Benzibee comes first from Bumthang.  Since his name starts from 'C' , he ended up becoming the first person to get photographed for Citizenship identity card despite many people whose names also start with 'C'. Though there can be coincidences in such cases, I personally feel its a wonderful coincidence. One would not get such opportunity even by chance if we dont have a great deal of merit and karma. To be on the first rank of about 741,822 people, without any effort !

Dear Dechen's, Yesterday was one of the happiest day of my life. We had the honor to have an audience with Ashi Kuenzang Choden, the first women writer from Bhutan. We invited her as a guest speaker as we are observing writing week for the first time in our school. Listening to her soft soothing words of wisdom,  changed my very notion of writing. She explained writing in a very simple and interesting manner. She told us that we shouldnot be afarid of grammatical mistakes and structures while writing which I worry about every time. In her writing secrets she shared with us how she struggled as a sstudent, how she came to love English and how she gets inspiration from small simple things. From now on, I will not fear as long as I have interest and as long as I can express my thoughts.  Mistakes will no longer bother me now! She also talked about how she wrote Dawa. I read the story but it was not as touching as she summed up to us in about 10 minutes. Her English was very...
